Important Update Regarding Sherline Products
October 20, 2026
We would like to share an encouraging development regarding the future of Sherline Products.
We are currently in discussions with an American manufacturer regarding the potential purchase of Sherline’s intellectual property and remaining inventory. The goal of this proposed acquisition is to preserve and revitalize the Sherline brand while providing continued availability of replacement parts, accessories, and machines for our valued customers.
As these discussions progress, we have agreed to temporarily suspend accepting new orders, effective October 19, 2026. This will allow us to preserve our remaining inventory while negotiations are underway.
Although no final agreement has been reached, we are hopeful that this opportunity will provide a positive path forward for the Sherline name and the customers who have trusted our products for more than five decades.
We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued loyalty during this transition. We will share additional information as soon as it becomes available.
Our greatest hope is that the Sherline legacy of quality, precision, and American craftsmanship will continue for generations to come.

Product Description

About the Standard Mill Hold-Down Set

Sherline now offers two types of hold-down sets; standard and step block. The standard set offers a simple and versatile method of clamping work to the mill table.

This basic hold-down set consists of two strap clamps complete with bolts, T-nuts, washers, and a variety of lengths of socket head cap screws. These clamps are adjustable so that they can accommodate materials of different thickness, and they can be used to hold parts of almost any shape. Height is adjusted by turning the carriage bolt. The round head of the carriage bolt is placed on a washer on the mill table to keep from damaging the table surface. The various length socket head screws are used in T-nuts in the table slots to pull the clamp down on the part. Maximum height adjustment is about 1-3/16″ with the screws provided.
